If everyone that so passionately believes global warming is caused by human pollution took the following steps:
1) Stop using electricity.
2) Stop using anything that uses an internal combustion engine.

Would it slow the "global warming" phenomenon? Or is it just a fact that the earths climate is cyclical?

This is a very interesting comparison....please read.

House 1:

The four-bedroom home was planned so that "every room has a relationship with something in the landscape that's different from the room next door. Each of the rooms feels like a slightly different place." The resulting single-story house is a paragon of environmental planning.

The passive-solar house is built of honey-colored native limestone and positioned to absorb winter sunlight, warming the interior walkways and walls of the 4,000-square-foot residence.

Geothermal heat pumps circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground. These waters pass through a heat exchange system that keeps the home warm in winter and cool in summer. A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof urns; wastewater from sinks, toilets, and showers cascades into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is then used to irrigate the landscaping around the four-bedroom home, which uses indigenous grasses, shrubs, and flowers to complete the exterior treatment of the home.

In addition to its minimal environmental impact, the look and layout of the house reflect one of the paramount priorities: relaxation. A spacious 10-foot porch wraps completely around the residence and beckons the family outdoors. With few hallways to speak of, family and guests make their way from room to room either directly or by way of the porch. "The house doesn't hold you in. Where the porch ends there is grass. There is no step-up at all."

This house consumes 25% of the energy of an average American home.
(Source: Cowboys and Indians Magazine, Oct. 2002 and Chicago Tribune April 2001.)

House 2:

This 20-room, 8-bathroom house consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year. The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, this house devoured nearly 221,000 kWh, more than 20 times the national average.

Last August alone, the house burned through 22,619 kWh, guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of this energy consumption, the average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.



Also, natural gas bills for this house and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year. In total, this house had nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for 2006.

(Source: just about anywhere in the news last month online and on talk radio, but barely on TV.)

House 1 belongs to George and Laura Bush, and is in Crawford, Texas.

House 2 belongs to Al and Tipper Gore, and is in Nashville, Tennessee.

Why is it that Leonardo Dicaprio starts getting involved in the environment and now people are so concerned. What's going on in this planet has been going on for years. No one has spoken up, except for scientist who have known this along, but who really listens to them. I think it is so sad that it takes a famous person to make us aware on what's going on with the world. Has to much time gone by now for his to try to stop global warming and saving animals that are on the verge of extinction?

hi friends . Its actually an essay that i have to write .
There is depletion of ozone layer and in the next few decades there may be a possibility that water may entirely disappear and the earth will no more be called as a blue planet. So my question is, at the time of the next world war will the world be able to use water for the transport of weapons and as a battlefield.
Plz give any sites if you know , that contain the appropriate matter

Okay, approx. every 30 seconds someone in the world dies.
There's nothing we can do about it.
It's a part of life.
But it's the time-changing process of each and every burial,
that takes place, is what I began thinking about.
The people that are being buried are in 6 ft deep in a steel box,
and placed into the ground.
Everyday the population is growing more rapidly,
and over an extended period of time, more people will die.
My question to you all is, if the more people dying die,
Will we ever run out of room to bury more?
Will we have to start burying people on top of people,
as the people below them continue to shift lower into the earth?
Will we ever have enough room?

I know it sounds kind of complicated.
But I was just curious.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate it. (:
